Panchayati Raj System
The local government at the rural level is called Panchayati Raj. It is also divided into three levels.
Panchayati Raj System
The first level: The first level is Gram Panchayat. It is created at the level of individual villages or groups of villages. It consists of several ward members called Panch and a president called Sarpanch. They are directly elected by the adult population of their wards and village.
Gram Panchayat is the decision-making body of the village which works under the supervision of the gram sabha. Gram sabha comprises all the voters of the Gram panchayat. Gram sabha meets twice or thrice a year to review the performance of the gram panchayat and also approves its budget. In this way, it is ensured that elected representatives are answerable to the voters.
Second Level: Few gram panchayats form a group which is called Panchayat samiti/Mandal at the block level. It comprises members who are elected from constituent gram panchayats. It also includes a government officer called a Block development officer(BDO).
Third Level: This level exists at the district level and is called Zilla Parishad. It comprises members elected from constituent panchayat samiti/block samiti. It also includes members of Loksabha and Members of the Legislative assembly from that area and has a government official called District Magistrate or collector.
